General Leemy's Circus

By Earl A. Snyder

Book Overview

General Leemy's Circus: A Navigator's Story of the Twentieth Air Force In World War II is the action-packed account of the fearless men who flew the Superforts, the B-29's of General Curtis Lemay's XXI Bomber Command. The navigator's role was a critical one and involved making complex directional calculations during the chaos of combat.

His renowned navigational skills earned him a place in Lemay's Circus and the critical series of bombings of Japan that ended World War 2.
